On Feb 9th, the WP wrote:
“ Since al-Qaeda fighters began streaming into Iran from Afghanistan in the winter of 2001, Tehran had turned over hundreds of people to U.S. allies and provided U.S. intelligence with the names, photographs and fingerprints of those it held in custody, according to senior U.S. intelligence and administration officials.”

So it appears that Iran has been turning them over – just not to the US. Not even sure if turning them over to the US would be legal?

And note that the Feb 9th article states that these people include “high-value” targets such as al-Qaeda spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith of Kuwait – yet it fails to mention that Iran tried to turn him over to Kuwait, but Kuwait refused to take him.
